“Know that the greatest of losses is for you to be preoccupied with one who will bring you nothing but a loss in your time with Allah – the Mighty and Majestic – and being cut off from Him; wasting your time with the person, a weakening of your energy, and the dispersing of your resolve. So, if you are tested with this – and you must be tested with this – deal with him according to how Allah would wish, and be patient with him as much as possible. Get closer to Allah and His Pleasure by way of this person, and make your getting together with him something to benefit from, not something to incur a loss from. Be with him as if you are a man who is on a road who was stopped by another man, who then asks you to take him on your journey. Make sure that you are the one who gives him a ride, and that he is not the one giving you the ride. If he refuses, and there is nothing to gain from travelling with him, do not stop for him, bid him farewell, and do not even turn back to look at him, as he is a highway robber, regardless of who he really is.
So, save your heart, be wary of how you spend your days and nights, and do not let the Sun set before you arrive at your destination.”
Ibn al-Qayyim; ‘al-Wabil as-Sayyib‘

As salaamu alaikum warahmatulahi wabarakatu
Alhamdulilah this is a great reminder for the Believers and may Allahu ta’ala guide us to do what is right, ameen.
Wa Alaikum Assalam Wa Rahmatullaahi Wa Barakatu
Allahumma Aameen.
And may Allaah bless us with righteous companionship, with such relationships whereby we may draw closer to Him. Ameen.
As salamu alaykum
Barakallahi feekum. This is a great reminder especially for our youth who don’t sometimes understand the quality of good companionship and free time. We really don’t have much of either good good companionship or much time we just think we do.
I pray that Allah will free us from bad company and wasting time Ameen
JazakAllaahu khayr for this post. Its a beautiful reminder maashaaAllah, may Allaah have mercy on Imam Ibn Al-Qayyim ameen.
